Cleaning weekend

Friday's closing went well and we were so excited to be done we went straight to the lake afterwards. We picked up groceries on the way to stock the pantry and freezer at the lake. We also brought the tv out and hung it on the fireplace. Dan got a receiver at Best Buy so he could use his new surround sound system and had fun making sure that worked.
Saturday was a fun filled day of cleaning. Dan's parents met us out there and helped wash windows and paint the ceiling in the master bathroom (that one was missed when the rest of the house was painted I guess). Dan moved the closet shelving in the master closet because they weren't high enough for two hanging bars for clothes and I went around with paint to touch up spots on the walls and around the stairs that were touched by the carpet. Dan's parents brought the kotasu (sp?) that we brought back with us from Japan and set it up in the basement. It is a short table with a blanket over the top and a heater underneath that the Japanese use to warm up when they come into their cold homes. It was fun to put our feet underneath and try it out.
The tv was fun to hook up and we found out we get channel 9 in HD. That is good news so we can watch the Super Bowl out there next Sunday!
We are excited for next weekend to get some furniture out there and especially our bed... no more air mattresses!
